Good for them.

Illia emails Peka condensed comprehensible summaries of the updates.

These people are really a piece of work.

They so are. But for now they're a necessary piece of work, unfortunately.

Guess so.

I don't know. I just--can't think of another way to solve the problem.

Me either. They're just so annoying.

And also responsible for me having to rescue a city's worth of reds to the north pole!

Well, they're having a decent time of it up there, too much leisure isn't a complaint reds normally have.

Yeah but imagine if I hadn't been there to rescue them.

Would've been bad.

Yeah.

I'm not sure they wouldn't have just killed them all. Maybe they would've herded them into other cities but then that wouldn't have lasted.

Fuck, there are babies and one-year-olds and two-year-olds and--

and those bastards casually asserting you're stupid--I wanted to punch him.

I mean I wanna be green but not like nerd green

Yeah but there's "they're not as smart as a green" and "none of them will be able to get any job".

Yeah that's dumb.

I've never actually heard you sing or anything but I bet you're great at it.

Clip of Peka singing.

I was right!

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Adding this to my reasons the caste system is ridiculous.

Altogether, you think?

It's not that a caste system is inherently ridiculous it's that in a non-ridiculous version of the caste system you would be green.

That could just mean having reds is dumb.

I mean, that is kind of true.
